Living in an RV Park

RV Parks in Mexico are unique. There is no pre-planned layout with cookie cutter spaces. They all seemed to have just evolved in whatever space was available. but it works just fine. I am constantly amazed to see a caravan of fifteen or so 40-45 RV's and trailers all fit into the park here at Rivera Del Mar, Like a big jig saw puzzle.

One of the more interesting aspects of these parks is, that not unlike RV parks in the states, you can rent a space for a year or more. The difference here is that you can make pretty much any improvements you want to the space. People down here will do everything from building a simple palapa roof, to building a full on home. The space we lucked into here has a 40x40 Palapa roof, large raised patio, private bathroom, and what once was an outdoor kitchen, we use as a workshop and for storage. We have a small yard full of plants and are located in the back corner of the park. There are 4 more 'permanentes' here in the park as well, and a few empty 'improved' spaces waiting.

But the really interesting thing about living in the park is, we have new neighbors every day. And down on the Baja, they come from every corner of the world in every type of vehicle imaginable.
From the Japaneses kid riding his bicycle around the world, to the German couple in the $500,000 miltary grade MAN camper. I think we've seen them all, VW campers from the 60's, super tricked out school buses, 1950 Triumph motorcycle to the latest greatest adventure touring bike. People with amazing stories, who for one reason or another decided to toss everything they own aside and see the world.
